Ergasiophobia is an abnormal, irrational
fear of work or things related to work. Sufferers of ergophobia experience
undue anxiety about the workplace environment even though they realize their
fear is irrational. Their fear may actually be a combination of fears, such
fear of failing at assigned tasks, fear of speaking before groups at work, or
fear of socializing with co-workers.

Causes of Ergasiphobia:

Ergophobia may be caused by individual
fear that they are incapable of handling their job responsibilities and are
destined to fail at work. Their fear may actually be a combination of fears,
such fear of failing at assigned tasks, fear of speaking in front of groups of
their colleagues, fear of socializing with co-workers, or fear of work meetings
or committees.

Symptoms of Eragsiophobia:-

The symptoms of Ergophobia are individual
and will vary from person to person. Some people, when confronted with their
fear of work, may begin to perspire, feel slightly uncomfortable or become
nauseated. Some people are so severely compromised by Ergophobia, that they may
experience paralyzing anxiety and/or panic attacks.
